State Representative Mike Sparks, who if fully behind the second amendment, will hold a Rally and Pistol Shoot this Saturday (1/5/13) from 12-2pm. The event will feature the author of “More Guns, Less Crime,” John Lott. The $20-event should be well received in Rutherford County, as we are ranked number five in the state for having the most citizens with a handgun permit.

The event will be in Murfreesboro at 8000 Burleson Lane off the Old Nashville Highway. Sparks told us homemade chili and hot dogs will be served for lunch.

Representative Sparks said that participants need to bring a can of food with them that will be donated to the Smyrna / LaVergne food bank. Sparks also said that Senators Jim Tracy and Bill Ketron will be guest at the Saturday event. Everyone is encouraged to bring their own gun and ammunition.
